Lexington & Concord 3-Hour Private Tour from Boston: Walk the Paul Revere Route
Select participants and date
The morning begins in Boston with the low buzz of traffic and the smell of hot coffee. A black car eases out of the city and takes the I-95 corridor west: oak-lined suburbs slide by, Harvard’s brick facades recede in the rearview, and the air seems to change—thinner, cooler, more patient. In under an hour the driver pulls into a small common where a guide steps out with a map and a voice that’s equal parts storytelling and field report.
